BASH TARGET AR500 GONG TARGET – ROUND 3″-1/2″ THICK

Steel gong targets built from AR500 material deliver audible feedback on every hit, making them essential for shooters who want immediate confirmation of accuracy.

TacticCAL in Sunnyvale stocks quality targets alongside firearm services—including FFL transfer in Sunnyvale—to support your complete shooting setup.

Why AR500 Steel Stands Up

AR500 steel's hardness absorbs impact energy without cratering or spalling dangerously. At half-inch thickness, this gong handles repeated centerfire rifle fire from typical range distances. The round profile and suspended mounting design allow the target to swing freely, resetting naturally after each shot. Unlike paper or reactive targets, AR500 steel lasts through hundreds of rounds. Shooters working with PC §32100 exempt revolvers or rifles alike appreciate the durability and audible impact confirmation that steel gongs provide. Browse our gun shop.

Frequently asked questions

What calibers can this gong target safely handle?

AR500 steel of this thickness handles centerfire rifle calibers from typical range distances. Consult the manufacturer's specific distance recommendations for your caliber before firing to ensure safe operation and target longevity.

How should I mount this gong for safe use?

Suspension mounting with free-swinging design allows the target to absorb and dissipate impact energy. Secure mounting points must support the target's weight and allow full movement. Always position the gong at a safe angle to deflect rounds downrange away from shooters.
